Corrects a problem in printing ANSI-PPL3 documents to certain printer models. Updates several setup modules used by the PrintKit software, but makes no changes to the PrintKit executable files. The ANSI-PPL3 data type is used by PrintKit for printing text documents. (It is sometimes referred to as the LN03 data type, from its original implementation in DEC LN03 printers.)
This kit should be applied to PrintKit 2.3-1 ONLY.
The Quick Start document includes installation instructions and release notes. It is also included in the installation kit downloads.

The downloadable installation kit is a single self-extracting archive. Once you've transferred this file to your OpenVMS system, you run the file to unpack the individual components of the distribution, which consist of a VMSINSTAL saveset and the Read Me document.
The downloadable kit is a binary file. Be sure to keep this in mind if you need to transfer it between systems. (For instance, use TYPE IMAGE with FTP.) It should appear on your OpenVMS system with fixed-length 512-byte records.
Separate versions of the kit are provided for each of the OpenVMS hardware architectures. Each version contains a full kit – once unpacked, it can be installed on any of the hardware architectures – but each architecture requires its matching version of the self-extract code.
